COACH DON LEWIS

Minnesota Coach Don Lewis is starting his fifth year as head man of Gopher

tennis. Lewis took over from Chet Murphy in 1960.

The Gopher coach has been associated with Big Ten tennis for 15 years.

He was runnerup in the conference singles tourney in 1951 while playing for

Iowa. He received both his bachelor's and master's degrees at the Hawkeye

school and was chosen outstanding campus leader there in 1951.

Lewis spent five years coaching football, swimming and tennis at Streator

(Illinois) Township High School before coming to Minnesota in 1959. He also

served a stint in the U.S. Arnry Medical Service Corps from 1951 to '53.

In 1947, while still a student at Fort Madison (Iowa) High School, he was

ranked 25th nationally in the junior singles and 16th in the doubles. While

in college he conducted tennis clinics on the Iowa campus in 1949 and ' 50.

The 34-year old mentor is married and the father of two children: Kirk, S, and Lea Anne, 5. 1964 GOPHER '!ENNIS OUTLOOK

This spring's Minnesota tennis team looms as the youngest in Coach Don Lewis I

five-year tenure but is expected to be superior to last year's squad which finished

last in the Big Ten.

"We should be better without question," declares Lewis. He adds, however,

that the conference should be stronger, too.

Only two lettermen - co-captains Mac Lutz and Charles Mikkelson - will be .. back, and as many as four sophomores may crack the starting lineup. The newcomers

are rated the most enthusiastic and hard-working group of fledglings that Lewis

has ever coached. Their inexperience will hurt, but their competitive fire will

enhance the Gophers' chances to move up in the standings.

Four lettermen are lost from the 1963 team - Capt. John Adams, Tom Hoivik,

Jerry Kriehn and Frank Kleckner. Only Adams and Hoivik were seniors. Kriehn has • moved to Arizona and Kleckner is ineligible since he is attending school on a

Part-time basis. Kleckner, a junior, was considered one of the Gophers' top prospects.

No.1 sophomore is Jerry Noyce who quickly captured the No.1 spot in pre-

season workouts. He is a power player who should develop into an excellent canpotitor

with experience.

Competition is wide open for the other five spots. Lutz, !JIikkelson and three other sophs were rated about even prior to the team's annual Texas trip.

The soph trio includes Tom Boice of Wayzata, Gerald Krause of St. Louis Park and Dave Rosenberg of St. Paul Central. Rosenberg is the top student on the team with a 4.0 (IIAIl) average.

Lutz has been slow rounding into shape since he worked 40 hours a week during the fall and winter in connection with his engineering studies. As a result of this heavy schedule, he found little time to practice. Two other players who were not eligible winter quarter are considered

possibilities to make the top six. They are sophomore Bryan Stamp and senior

Brian Lawson. ------,_r----- ,.. •

,"I Lester Bolstad, who was appointed to the staff of the Department of Physical ... Education and Athletics of the University of Minnesota, February 16,1947, serves in the multiple capacities of professional of the University golf course, coach of the Minnesota varsity golf team and golf instructor in the physical education program. The University golf program is an ambitious one. All students, male and

I .. female, alike, are encouraged to participate in golf. Bolstad starts with the I beginner and duffer and conducts group instruction in playing techniques, rules and golf course courtesy. He also teaches several Extension Division classes at night. He has conducted golf clinics throughout the state and in other states.

I No man in the nation is better qualified than Les Bolstad to fill the post I I... he now occupies. He is a profound student of golf and is rated by such top I authorities as B,yron Nelson and Lloyd Mangrum as one of the country's leading instructors. Among his famous pupils are Patty Berg of Minneapolis, who is I ~ generally accepted as one of the top women golfers in the nation; Beverly Hanson of Fargo, North Dakota; Mary Lena Faulk of ThomaSville, Georgia; and Mickey Wright of San Diego, California. When Bolstad returned to the University golf course as professional it I marked the completion of a circle. Bolstad had started as a caddy as a boy of • eleven at the old University course• His first competitive triumph was in the Minnesota junior tournament in 1924. In 1926, his sophomore year at the University of Minnesota, Les won the national public links championship. He was instrumental in reviving golf as a competitive sport at ¥JUrunesota in 1927 and captained Gopher link teams in 1927, '28 and '29. He was Big Ten individual champion in 1927 and 1929 and helped Minnesota to the team title in 1929. He coached the 1963 Gophers to the Big Ten championship. Bolstad has held the Minnesota amateur championship, the Minnesota Open Title (4 times), the Minnesota Publinx title (twice) and the Minnesota PGA crown. I Together with Joe Coria of St. Paul, Les holds the National Professional Golfers ~ Association best-ball record of 59 strokes, achieved during the Golden Valley invitational meet of 1944 and at the expense of Chick Harbert and Mike Turnesa. Les left his post as professional at the GoJden Valley Club, Minneapolis, to join the University staff. He had served at Westwood Hills and the Minneapolis Golf Club before going to Golden Valley.

Minnesota is the defending champion, having edged out Wisconsin by one point at Madison last spring. .. 1964 MINNESOTA GOLF OUTLOOK

Les Bolstad doesn't forsee his Gopher golf team producing any such stunning performance as that turned in by the 1963 Minnesota squad which startled the collegiate golf world by edging favored Wisconsin for the Big Ten title. • The Gopher linksmen have lost only two lettermen from that champion­ ship squad" but they were important men - Capt. Les Peterson who tied

for fifth in the conference meet and junior Bob Petersen who captured the Minnesota pre-school tournament last fall and loomed as a top prospect. The former has graduated while the latter has dropped out of school. These losses" together with the questionable effectiveness of Bob • Hustrulid, a senior who placed second in the pre-school tourney" make the • Gopher outlook a bit cloudy. Hustrulid is enrolled in medical school and

found little time to practice during fall and winter quarters due to his

• heavy study load. But all is not gloomy. Six lettermen return" led by Capt. Dave Gumlia, a junior who was runnerup in the Big Ten meet last year and went on to earn all-American honors. Blessed with good power and having attained additional maturity and confidence, Gumlia should have a fine year.

Another key letterman back is Jack Keohane who tied for eighth in the Big Ten last spring and whose last round 74 clinched the conference crown for the Gophers. Others are Hustrulid" Dick Blooston" Dick Johnson"

Frank Martin. Three sophomores who could help are George Hallin, Art Skon and Dave Ojala. All three have promise but need competitive experience. Mailed Januar,y 2, 1963 ..

Houston, Iowa State, South Dakota U." Drake, Cornell, and St. Joseph's, and losses to Bradley, Wichita" and Villanova. The third setback was in the finals of the Eastern College Athletic Conference Holiday Basketball Festival finale Monday in Madison Square Garden. Coach John Kundla feels that his young proteges have picked up considerable poise and know-how along the thorny path they have traversed in recent weeks. Out

of this experience has come a definite starting combination with Captain Bill Davis and Lou Hudson at the forwards, Mel Northway at center, and Terry Kunze and Don

Yates at guard. First-line reserves slated for extensive duty are Archie Clark,

guard-forward, Al Druskin, guard, and Dave Nelson, guard.

Purdue has been spotty in downing Detroit, Nebraska, and Dartmouth, and

losing to "lake Forest, Butler, Miami or Ohio, Evansville, and New Mexico. However, the Boilermakers have been steadily improving and looked sharp in swamping Dartmouth 101 - 53 Monday night. Back to haunt the Gophers will be the great t Mel Garland who is recovering from an injury that kept him out or several l non-conference games. The All Big Ten guard who finished fifth in Conference L scoring last season with a 23.1 average blistered Minnesota with a 39-point outburst last year at Lafayette on 15 field goals in 22 tries and nine free throws in 10 attempts.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Rock-and-Roll was unheard of. Louis Clyde Hudson, SParkling young University of Minnesota basketball hopeful, was 12 years old. Ozzie Cowles

was the Gopher basketball coach. That was back in March of 1957, the last time the

basketball Gophers came out first best against Ohio State.

Since he took over the Minnesota basketball helm in 1959 John Kundla has encountered the frustration of six consecutive losses to the ldn-hapPY' Buckeyes.

It was 75 - 66 his first year; 75 - 56 in 1961; 90 - 76 and 91 - 66 in 1962; 78 - 76 and 85 - 65 last season. Kundla reflected for a long time afterward on Iiwhat might have been" in the first 196,3 encounter at Columbus when Minnesota led 61 - 56 with eight minutes remaining, only to have the Buckeye jinx preVail.

Now, as the "new look" Gophers and Kundla prepare for Saturday's clash with

the powerful Bucks Saturday on the latter's home court, the Minnesota mentor has

this game at the top of his list of "most wanted."

III must say," laments John, "that on the basis of our spotty play and sloppy

rebounding in outlasting Purdue 97 - 9.3 last Saturday I can't find too much to

bolster my hopes of topping Ohio State for a change. \'le are going to have to do a

better job all around." Perhaps fortunately, to four of the Gophers who figure to play prominent roles against the Buckeyes, the so-called "jinx" means little or nothing. As

sophomores, they have not been exposed to the spell cast over their six predecessor

teams by the Ohioans.

Two of these newcomers - Lou Hudson, forward, and Don Yates, guard - are

slated to start against the Bucks. Archie Clark, guard, and Dennis Dvoracek, forward, will be in ready reserve. Mel Northway at center, Captain Bill Davis at forward, and Terry Kunze, guard, are the other probable starters. The Gophers who took a lesson in under-basket position and rebounding (60 - 46) from Purdue last Saturday are working overtime on these facets of the game this week.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - lfdnnesota' s hockey Gophers swing into Western Collegiate

Hockey Association play this weekend with a Frid~-Saturd~ series at Williams

Arena against their arch-rivals from ~tichigan. Both games will start at 8:00 p.m. St. Paul Park and Hopkins provide the preliminary action Friday while a freshman intra-squad battle is on tap for

Saturd~. Both prelims are slated for 6:30. Minnesota and Michigan represent questionable quantities. at this stage of the campaign. Each has a sophomore-studded roster, the Gophers carrying 10 first-year men while the Wolverines have nine. They also sport inconclusive records. Michigan is more impressive on paper with a 3-1-0 mark but its competition has been of uncertain quality. The Wolverines own a pair of 9-5 victories over Queen's University and a 10-0 triumph over the University of Toronto. Oddly enough, their lone setback came at the hands of the same Toronto sextet, 5-3. The Gophers (3-4-1) have won three of their last four starts, all against eastern opponents: Boston University 4-2, Northeastern 5-1 and Army 6-3. Their losses have been to UMD 5-2 and 7-5, the U. S. Olympic Team 11-3 and Harvard 5-2. The tie was with the Gopher Alumni 4-4. Ninnesota had the better of last year's action with Michigan, winning two and tying two. Overall, the Gophers hold a 74-66-11 advantage in the long series.

MINNEAPOLIS. - An Indiana University swinmdng aggregation that may very well ~ shape up as the greatest in the history of intercollegiate competition will display I its overwhelming talents Saturday at 2:00 p.m. in a dual meet with Minnesota in the Cooke Hall exhibition pool. The Hoosiers own 32 consecutive dual meet victories. Their last loss was to

I On display Saturday with the visitors will be three \10rld record holders and four men considered outstanding bets for places on the 1964 United States Olympic swim squad which will compete in Tokyo, Japan. Those holding world marks are Lary Schulhof, 440-yard medley relay (4:08.5); Ted Stickles, 440-yard individual medley (4:51.0); Tom stock, 100-meter backstroke (1:00.9), 200-meter

, backstroke (2:10.8); 220-yard backstroke (2:1).6); 44Q-yard medley relay (4:08.5). r Gary Verhoeven who holds Big Ten Conference records in the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events is the fourth Olympic likely on the Indiana squad. Rick Gilbert, one of the nation's best in the low board diving events, is another strong Olympic team probability. He was the 1963 National AAU indoor one and three-meter diving champion which puts him pretty much in a class by himself as a diving performer. A possible world record is foreseen when Indiana's brilliant butterfly trio of Lary Schulhof, Fred Schmidt, and Ralph Kendrick, sophomore sensation from Richmond, Californi~, tangle with Minnesota's Wally Richardson who handed Schulhof and Schmidt their onlyl963 losses in collegiate competition. Richardson holds Big Ten, NCAA and American records in the 100 and 2OQ-yard butterfly events. #11# Mailed January 7, 1964 For release upon receipt.

had the second best recorded time of any college freshman in the United States during the past season. His 9:19.4 clocking in postal competition was

surpassed on~ by Southern Illinois' John Jaeger who was timed in 9:18.5. Furthermore, the Gopher five-man yearling distance team of Wgner, Tom Heinonen e of Robbinsdale, John Valentine of St. Louis Park, and George Podolsky and Bob

Weigel, both graduates of Minneapolis Southwest high, ran second to San Jose State's brilliant frosh quintet in the nation-wide competition. "Looks like their hard work last fall is going to payoff for these boys" says Griak as he eagerly looks forward to the 1964 cross country season. The group worked out twice daily last fall -- in the early morning before classes and in the late afternoon.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota and Michigan battle at Williams Arena this weekend

for the uPeacepipell Trophy, emblematic of Gopher-\'lolverine hockey supremacy.

Face-off is at 8 p.m. both Friday and Saturday.

The trophy was first offered by the Gopher Blue Line Club last year as a

symbol of friendship between the two schools after some bad feeling forced a

one-year interruption of the series in 1962. The Gophers were awarded the "pipeu

in 1963 after capturing the season's series on a record of two wins and a pair of

ties in four starts.

Michigan will be paced by high-scoring wing Gary Butler and center Gordy

Willie who fiI'ished second and sixth respectively in WCHA competition last year.

Butler provided the chief competition for the Gophers' great All-American Louis

Nanne in the Association scoring race. Nanne finally edged out Butler at the

finish 32-30. Butler's 15 goals tied for top honors in that department with

Hinnesota's Gary Schmalzbauer. Wilkie racked up seven goals and 17 assists for

24 points.

Defensively, the Wolverines are a question mark. Big Tom Polomc, a 6-3,

2lo-pound sophomore, has carried the brunt of the blue line chores 60 far this

season. Other top defensemen are a couple of junicrs, Roger Galipeau and Dave

Newton. Newton underwent surgery back in December but is expected to be resay

for the Gophers.

Michigan is set in the goal with two capable veterans, Bob Gray and

Bill Bieber. The latter is a former Edina prep star.

11INNEAPOLIS. - It looks as if the University of Minnesota hockey team will

have its hands full against the invading Wolverines of Michigan this weekend.

The venerable rivals clash Friday and Saturday nights at S p.m. in Williams Arena.

Friday night's high schoOl preliminary will feature St. Paul Park against i Hopkins while a freshman intra-squad battle will fill the bill Saturday. Both games start at 6:30.

The }UU!nesota-Michigan series is the first in WCHA combat for both teams.

UMD hockey coach Ralph Romano warns the Gophers that the Wolverines are big, rI rough and hard to defense. Romano's Bulldogs took an 8-4 drubbing from Michigan

Tuesday night.

"They can score," says Romano, "especially Gary Butler. II Butler, runnerup

in \'100 scoring last year, knocked in a quartet of goals against UMD. "Their

defense is queationabl~,!' continues Romano, "but they're so darned big and strong I i ~ behind the blue line that you'd hardley know it. Ii Mariucci hopes to have sophomore defenseman Jerry Edman and junior goalie

Bill Fabian ready for the Wolverines. Both were ineligible fall quarter.

''Maroosh'' expects to start his usual lineup against the Wolverines:

sophomore John Lothrop in the goal, Capt. Dave Metzen and junior Dick Haigh at

defense, along with sophomore center Lorne Grosso and junior wings Roy Nystrom

and Craig FaJ.kDtan.

of Michigan diving star who coaches Gopher varsity divers. "In fact," continued Ron, "I believe that Rick is just about a cinch to bring home a gold medal for the

United States in the diving events of the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. 11

Gilbert, a 2o-year old junior from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, can stand

firmly on his record against anyone inclined to challenge his supremacy in United

States circles. As an Indiana freshman in 1962 he captured the National AAU

indoor three-meter diving championship. He scored a "double" in the 1963 AAU

competition when he carried off the blue ribbon in both the one-meter and three-

meter events. Gilbert is only one of several Hoosiers showing here Saturday who are considered prime prospects for the 1964 USA Olympic sw:l.mmi.ng squad. There is considerable support on a nation-wide basis for the contention that this Indiana squad may be one of the greatest collegiate swim groups every assembled.

Meet time is 2:00 p.m. Reserved seat tickets priced at $1.50 are on sale at Cooke Hall on the Minnesota campus. Adult general admission tickets priced at

Swi.mmi.ng fans of this area anticipate a rare treat when Indiana University's Big Ten Conference and National AAU champions take to the Cooke Hall exhibition

pool against Minnesota's fine team in a dual meet Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

The Hoosiers, only team to down the Gothers in dual competition last

season, seek their 35th consecutive win in Saturday's meet. '!bey were last

defeated on February 21, 1959. The Indiana squad which may be the strongest in intercollegiate annals,

includes several world record holders m d prime candidates for the United States

1964 Olympic swim team. One of many standouts is Rick Gilbert who as a college

freshman won a national AAU title in diving. Now, as a junior, he is rated the best in this country and perhaps in the world. Perhaps Saturday's most exciting event will pit Wally Richardson of

Minnesota, holder of the Big Ten, NCAA, and national records in the 100 and 200­

yard butterfly events against Fred Schmidt, former world record holder, and Larry

Schulhof who owns a piece of the world medley relay record. Richardson handed

these stars their only losses last year.

The medley relay race could be a breath-taker. Minnesota's foursome set a

new Big Ten and American record to edge Indiana in last year's Conference meet,

only to have the Hoosiers come back and reclaim the American record with a 3:33.2

winning time in the national AAU championships.

The Friday clash will take place at Williams Arena starting at 8 p. In. ,

SatUrday's game will be played at Duluth.

UMD has the inside track for the "Taconite Hockey Trophy" which is annually

awarded by the UMD Blue Line Club to the winner of the Gopher-Bulldog season

by scores of 5-2 and 6-5. If the Gophers should sweep the upcoming series, the

trophy will go to whichever team scores the most goals in the four-game competition.

Right now, UMD holds a five-goal advantage.

Coach John Mariucci's team outlasted Michigan 6-5 in the last game of their

set with the Wolverines last Saturday. The outcome, following Friday's 5-1 setback,

encouraged Mariucci. It was generally contended that the Gophers played probably

their best hockey of the season in the series, sparking hope for a better fate in

"The Gophers"

l'IINNEAPOLIS. - The UMD hockey squad that invades Williams Arena Friday for

an 8 p.m. showdown with Coach John Mariucci' s Minnesota team is not only strong but young. It should remain a power to reckon with for years to come.

Ralph Romano's Bulldogs have been one of the surprises of collegiate hockey

this winter. Many observers felt that when the Bulldogs embarked upon a big-time

hockey schedule three seasons ago, they were asking for their lumps. They got

them, too, during the first two campaigns when Western CollegiateHockey Association

teams regularly whipped them.

It's been a different story this season. The Bulldogs have broken even in

their first 12 games and have swept series from such WCHA powers as Minnesota and

Michigan State. '!hey also own a split with Michigan Tech.

The youth motif is clearly shown in the UMD scoring totals. The top two

scorera are freshmen; the third is a sophomore. Keith Christiansen leads by a

comfortable margin with nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points. Pat Francisco

follows with 15 points and Mike Tok has 12. Tok is probably the best scorer on

the team but missed the Michigan series last week due to a strep throat and was

left in a weakened condition for the Michigan State series which followed.

Continuing on the youth theme, four of mID I stop 14 men are freshmen and

another four are sophomores. Only one man - Capt. Bill McGunn -- is a senior. Looks like trouble ahead.

have discovered that they can win in Western Collegiate Hockey Association

competition, they are eager to prove that they can beat their erstwhile cousins

from UND at Williams Arena Friday night. Face-off time is 8:00.

Thus far in the campaign, the Bulldogs have been far from patsies for the

Gophers. Instead, they have turned into tormentors, whipping Minnesota twice, 5 - 2 and 7 - 5. In so doing, they have taken an edge in the battle between the two rivals for the "Taconite Hockey Trophy" which is emblematic of state

superiority in the ice sport.

The two teams meet again Saturday, this time at Duluth.

Friday's contest will be preceded at 6:30 by an attractive high school

preliminary between Edina and Minneapolis Southwest.

Mariucci looks forward to squaring accounts with the Bulldogs. "One thing

now, nobody thinks mID is a pushover, II he declares. ''We expect two real battles

this weekend. l!

The Gophers have two men on the injury list. Wing Dick Bloom missed the

Michigan series last weekend because of a fractured cheekbone and is still sidelined. Center Doug Woog, one of the team's top sophs, is suffering from a swollen eye after being struck in the face by a stick during practice this week.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Third place in the Conference standings is at stake as the

University of Minnesota basketball team entertains Northwestern in a regionally televised game Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Williams Arena here.

The Gophers and Wildcats l currently tied with 2 - 1 records in league play,

trail Uichigan, Illinois, and Ohio State, the joint leaders with 2 - 0 marks. The Buckeyes tackle Michigan Saturday at Ann Arbor. This means that the loser

will fall behind the Minnesota - Northwestern victor who will own a 3 - 1 mark. Illinois is idle so will fall behind the winner at Ann Arbor. Coach John Kund1a, praying that Tuesday night's 103 - 82 conquest of Michigan State was no IIflash-in-the pan," indicated Wednesday that he had at

last settled on a starting five. It is comprised of Captain Bill Davis and Lou

Hudson, forwards; Mel Northway, center; and Archie Clark and Terry Kunze, guards.

Latest figures show that four Gophers are in double scoring figures for the 13 games played to date. They are Hudson (19.1), Northway (14.0), Davis

(11.4), and Kunze (10.6). Two aspects of the Michigan State victory particularly pleased Kundla. One was the balanced scoring which found Hudson hitting 23 pointe,

Northway 21, Clark 18, Davis 15, Kunze 8 1 and Don Yates, sixth man on the squad

and No. 1 reliefer at guard and forward, 7 points. The other was the reboundi"l8 in which the Gophers held a 61 - 41 edge as Northway snared 20 to come within one of Ron Johnson's school record.

Northwestern and Minnesota have not as yet met a common foe, so there are no significant comparisons to be made. In Conference play the Wildcats have downed Indiana 79 - 65, and Wisconsin 76 - 63, while losing to Michigan 85 - 73. The Gophers edged Purdue 97 - 93 and bowed 85 - 73 to Ohio State before tripping the Spartans Tuesday.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota I s hockey Gophers will sport a new look in what

could be a key series against Michigan State at Williams Arena this Friday and

Saturday. Both games will start at S p.m.

.. Coach John Mariucci has juggled his lineup in an effort to come up with the

best possible combination for the several grueling weeks of Western Collegiate

Hockey Association competition coming up. Dick Haigh, a natural center who has

been filling in at defense, has returned to his former spot. He will center for

the No. 3 line which will also include Bill Ramsay and John Torrel at the wings.

Haigh replaces Mike Alm while Torrel takes over for Mark Ryman who had been

filling in for the injured Dick Bloom.

Mariucci has settled on a new defensive combination following shifting

of Haigh. Dave Metzen will team with Frank Zywiec on the No. 1 combination while

Jerry Edman and Pat Furlong will be the second duo. Edman's fine defensive play

since joining the team early this month was a prime factor in the decision to

switch Haigh back to center. A highly-regarded sophomore, Edman had been

ineligible fall quarter.

The Gophers, who have been off and on all season, would like nothing better

than to parlay their new lineup into a pair of victories over State. Such an

occurence would boost Minnesota to a 3-1 mark and thrust the Maroon and Gold into

they would probably rank in the top four or five teams in the country."

Thus far, the Sooners have lost only to Oklahoma State which is rated,

along with Iowa State" as a favorite for NCAA honors this winter. They are paced

by an excellent wrestler at 177 pounds - Sven Holm.

Johnson hopes to have sophomore Bob Henry ready to go in the 130-pound

division. Henry has been recovering from the effects of a broken wrist sustained

last November. If Henry is available, the Gophers will likely start six sophs.

The tentative Gopher lineup; 123 - Larry Lloyd or Don Henry; 130 - Bob

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota hopes to take a big step toward its second

straight Big Ten hockey championship this weekend when it entertains Michigan

state at Williams Arena.

That's right - Big Ten championship! Although it is the Western

Collegiate Hockey Association title that is the chief object of interest, the

Big Ten does keep track of how the WCHA's three Big Ten entries -- Minnesota,

Michigan and Michigan State - fare in competition with each other.

Last year the Gophers came out on top with a record of 5-1-2. Michigan

State was runnerup (5-3-0) and Michigan finished third (0-6-2). Conference

standing is computed on the basis of two points for each victory and one for

each tie. No points are awarded for losses. A fourth team has entered the

picture this year - Ohio State. The Buckeyes have already played and lost to

the Spartans and have a game scheduled with the Wolverines for later in the

season.

By virtue of its triumph over Ohio State, Michigan State leads in Big Ten

competition this year with a 1-0 mark. Minnesota and Michigan are tied for the

runnerup spot with 1-1-0 records. A Gopher sweep would vault them into undisputed

control of first place with a 3-1-0 mark.

The Gophers or Spartans also eould move up in the WCHA race by virtue of

a sweep. The two teams are tied with Hichigan and Michigan Tech for third place

in the Association, all With 1-1-0 records.

Both of the Gopher-Spartan tussles will start at 8 p.me, preceded by high

school preliminaries at 6:30. Friday it will be Alexander Ramsey ve. Minneapolis

Roosevelt while St. Paul Washington and Minneapolis Washburn tangle on Saturday. • Mailed January 22, 1964 For release upon receip~.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota t s basketball team invades the lair of Northwestern's

Wildcats of Evanston Saturday hoping to win its first road game of the Big Ten

campaign atter losing to Ohio State and ~lichigan. The defeat to the Wolverines came Tuesday night by an 80-66 margin. It

dropped the Gophers into fourth place and lett them with a 3-2 conference mark

and 10-5 overall.

''We know Northwestern will be tough, II says Gopher coach John Kundla. "They

almost beat us here last week and they're always tough at home. We're definitely

not taking them lightly. II

Kundla feels his young team learned a great deal in its loss to Michigan.

"I don I t think our boys are as awed by Michigan now as they were going into the

game,1I he explains. ''We played them virtually even in shooting and reboUDding.

What killed us were mistakes. We threw the ball away too many times and let them

have too many easy baskets. II

The Minnesota coach was particularly pleaeed with the play of Mel Northway

who scored 19 points against the Wolverines. "Mel has matured a lot, II says

Kundla. "He did a wonderful job, both on offense and defense. II Kundla also

lauded Capt. Bill Davis for his 16-rebound effort on the boards.

Sophomore Louis Hudson continues to pace the Gophers in scoring with a

19-point average in 15 games. Northway is runnerup with a 14.2 mark and leads

in rebounds with 174. Davis is the second best rebounder with 161. The statistics: ~--

undefeated swimming team which challenges the University of Minnesota's powerful

tank squad at the Cooke Hall pool Saturday, starting at 2 p.m.

The meet will be teleVised, along with the Gopher indoor track meet against Northwestern, by weCO-TV (Channel 4). Minnesota's Bob Mowerson, former Spartan assistant coach, will be seeking

his second dual meet triumph over his old boss, State coach Charles McCa!free.

The Go}ilers won last year at East Lansing 53-52.

Before the season started, there were reports that the Spartans might be down

this year after many seasons near the top of the heap. With only five members

returning from last winter's team which finished fifth in the Big Ten and eighth

in the country, sophomores had to carry a big share of the load. They have

responded brilliantly. As a result, MSU is probably a better-balanced team than

in 1963 although lacking an outstanding blue-chip swimmer. The Spartans have won all three of their dual meets, over Iowa (79-26),

Iowa State (66-39), and Purdue (76-29), as well as finishing first in the Michigan State Invitational Relays. Minnesota was runnerup in the latter event. The

Gophers are 2-1 in dual meets, haVing lost to Indiana's NCAA champs (65-40) and defeating Iowa (56-49) and always-strong Ohio State (57-48).

~rrNNEAPOLIS. - Despite a fantastic run of injuries, the Michigan State gymnastics team which meets Minnesota at Cooke Hall Saturday at 10 a.m. should be

one of the toughest opponents the Gophers will face this winter.

The first Spartan to fall was sophomore Jim Curzi, a great all-around prospect.

He suffered a partial dislocated shoulder and a partial separation. His replacement

Bob Beguelin also is out with a sprained neck and dislocated elbow after falling

from the high bar. The third casualty is John Rohs, a specialist in the free

exercise and both the parallels and high bar. He is sidelined with a bad shoulder

separation.

If this were not enough, the Spartans also will be without the services of

Dale Cooper, the best still rings performer in the country and Big Ten and NCAA

titlist in that event the last two years. Cooper is staying behind Saturday to

take entrance tests for the U. S. Naval Aviation program.

The best of the remaining Spartans are Dick Giliberto, a solid performer in

tumbling and free exercise, and a trio of strong all-around men - Dave Price, Ted

Wilson and Tom Hurt.

State has beaten Wisconsin (62-50) and Ohio State (60i-5li) while losing to

Iowa 58-54. Minnesota also has lost to the Hawkeyes (66i-44i) and has defeated

Indiana (69-43) and Illinois State (68i-43i).

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota's first-place hockey team heads for East Lansing this weekend and a pair of return matches with the Michigan State squad which the Gophers downed twice here last week to gain their present lofty perch. The teams will tangle Friday and Saturday nights. Some familiar faces will be missing, however. Gopher wing Craig Falkman and defenseman Dave Metzen along with Spartan wings Doug Roberts and Don Heaphy have been disqualified from Friday's game because of their participation in the fight which broke out late in the second game of the series at Minneapolis. Falkman, however, won't be making the trip at all. Gopher coach John Mariucci is leaving both he and center Dick Haigh at home in a disciplinary move chastising them for leaving the bench during the fisticuffs. Defenseman Jim Anderson, wing Mark Ryman and center Mike AIm are the likely

replacements for Metzen, Falkn~ and Haigh respectively. The loss of the two forwards will handicap the Gophers in the Saturday contest since State will be at full strength then. Falkman is tied with the Spartans' Mac Orme for third place in Western Collegiate Hockey Association scoring with eight points in four games, just one behind co-leaders John Simus of Colorado College and Wilfred Martin of Michigan. Haigh has scored four points in WCHA play. Roy Nystrom is the Gopher scoring leader in all games with 21 points on 10 goals and 11 assists. Falkman is second with 18 points. The statistics: ~

MINNEAPOLIS. ~ The University of Minnesota basketball team will be fighting

to remain in the top half of the Big Ten standings when it entertains Wisconsin Saturday night in Williams Arena here. The Gophers are currently deadlocked with Michigan State for fifth place on 3 - 3 records in Conference play. The Badgers, 3-1 in league competition, have had their ups and downs this season. They were highly impressive in swamping Ganzaga 115 - 71, and drubbing Georgia Tech 104 - B4. Tech, one of the powers in the Southeastern Conference, holds a 76 - 67 verdict over mighty Kentucky. Wisconsin's lone win so far in Big Ten play is a 79 - 61 decision over Iowa. Losses were to Ohio State, Michigan State, and Northwestern. The Badger - Gopher contest will feature fast break against fast break. Key man in Wisconsin's offense is Captain Mike 0 'Melia, 5-10 senior guard. The fiery redhead is a brilliant ball-handler and play-maker who consistently triggers the firewagon tactics favored by Coach John Erickson. Like Minnesota, the Badgers rely heavily on sophomore talent. New forwards are Ken Gustafson, 6-3, Ken Barnes, 6-3, and Dave Roberts, 6-5. The tallest man on the squad, 6-6 Mark Zubor and 6-7 Dale Schultz, are both sophs and centers. Tom Gardner, 5-10 guard, is the top backcourt man among the newc.omers. Louis Hudson, Minnesota's sophomore forward, continues as top point-getter for his team, according to latest statistics. He is averaging IS.7 points per game.

Saturday against Northwestern's invading Wildcats, starting at 1:00.

Griak expects the meet to be a tossup. 'We probably rate the edge in the shot

Northwestern won its opening meet last week by 76-28 over the University of

Tom Thomas in the 440, Jim Harris in the pole vault, Lee Assenheimer in the

distance events and Willie Collins in the low hurdles.

Among the chief Gopher point-producers are Tom Barnes in the shot, Bart

Uplinger and Creighton Fleming in the 440 and Jim Day and Norris Peterson in the

distance races. Peterson was sidelined early this week after injuring an

Achilles tendon.

Griak was pleasantly surprised by the performances against Iowa State of

Bill Stevens who won the 60 yard dash, John Shaffer who cleared 13-6 in the pole

vault and Carl Jones who placed second in the B80 despite a groin injury.

A clinic for high school track and cross country coaches will be held at

Minot, coached by Art Hovde, has a 10 - 3 mark which includes a 73 -41

triumph over Minneapolis De La Salle high in the Holiday tournament. In the

same event Minot topped Rapid City, ranked second in South Dakota. Tom Lium,

6-4~ center star, has been nursing a sore back and missed several games because

of it. He is back in limited action. Meanwhile 6 - 6 Don Kyser has been carrying

cog in the Minot attack. other starters are Jim White, forward, and Ed Baker

The Gopher coach plans to use the same lineup which started against

Oklahoma with two exceptions. Charles Quaday, who was a third-place finisher

at 137 pounds in the Big Ten last winter but missed the Oklahoma meet, will

probably start at JA7 in place of sophomore Lee Gross who is nursing a bad

Face-off time is 8:00 Friday and Saturday nights. The Gopher freshman teart

will pair off in an intra-squad prliminary Friday while Cretin and Blake clash

in the Saturday prelim. Both start at 6:30.

A sweep of the Tiger series would allow the Gophers to steal a march on

Michigan's Wolverines who go outside the WCHA to play Ohio University and Ohio

State. Minnesota and Michigan are currently tied atop the Association standings

with identical 5-1-0 records and meet at Ann Arbor next week in a showdown which

could have championship implications.

Minnesota will be at full strength for Colorado. Forwards Craig Falkman

and Dick Haigh will be back after missing last weekend's twin victories over

Michigan State because of their parts in a rhubarb involving the Spartans the

week before. In addition, it appears that wing Dick Bloom who has been sidelined

for almost a month with a fractured cheek bone, will be available for service.

The Gophers utilized two big periods in whipping the Spartans 7-6 and 4-2.

They scored five goals in the third period of the Friday game and all four tallies

in the second stanza of the Saturday clash.

Roy NYstrom has stretched his scoring lead over Falkman to five points and

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Coach John Kundla is much more concerned about the 92 points scored by Wisconsin than he is about the record-shattering 111 points compiled by the Gophers in last Saturday's romp over the Badgers.

Consequently, it's DEFENSE, DEFENSE, AND MORE DEFENSE in practice this week as the Gophers prepare for Saturday's encounter with Iowa at Iowa City.

"I can't figure our club at times," said Kundla earlier this week as he contemplated the task ahead this weekend. "They'11 be making their pattern stuff work nicely on offense, but if the other team switches defenses on them they seem to get upset and fall into disorganized individual pl~. It's happened several times this year, including the Wisconsin game when we nearly blew a 20-point lead.

Instead of playing as a unit, working the ball in, and sending several men up after the offensive rebounds, we tend to make a one-man break at the basket, take a shot, and lose the ball."

Kundla indicated that he would work on this offensive failing of the Gophers in addition to putting them through many intensive hours of defensive work against the top freshman combination.

The one pleasing recollection of the Wisconsin game basket spree in so far as Kundla is concerned is the coordinated five-man fast break employed by the

Gophers to build their SS - 68 lead at 7: 56 of the second half. He also welcomed the opportunity to give reserves Dennis Dvoracek, Wes Martins, Don Linehan, and

Al Druskin a lengthy workout.

Lou Hudson, 6-5 sophomore forward, continues to stand out in Hinnesota's individual scoring department with a 19.1 average for 17 games.

liThe Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. The Colorado College hockey team which invades Williams Arena

this weekend for a showdown with Minnesota has a pronounced "Gopher-state" flavor.

No fewer than eight of the players making the trip hail from Minnesota, not to

speak of Coach Bob Johnson, a Gopher ice star back in the early '50s.

The Tigers and Gophers clash Friday and Saturday nights, starting at 8:00.

The series will innagurate a four-game set between the two teams with the action

shifting to Colorado Springs next week.

Minnesota needs a sweep to gain full custody of first place in the WCHA.

If they could capture all four games from the Bengals, they would move into their

crucial series at Michigan in two weeks with a 9-1-0 record.

The eight Colorado players with Minnesota backgrounds includ John Simus, the

team's leading scorer and fourth best scorer in the Western Collegiate Hockey

Association, and Bob Magie, runnerup in Tiger scoring. Simus played his prep hockey

at Hinneapolis \'lashburn, while Magie is from Duluth. Others are Ken Hanson, another

l1ashburn alumnus; Jeff Sauer, Roger Simon and Dave Peterson, all of St. Paul

Washington; Tom Brindley, St. Paul Johnson; and Glen Blumer, International Falls.

Johnson was a stalwart on the great Gopher teams of 1953 and '54. He coached

at Hinneapolis Roosvelt before taking over from Tony Frasca as head man at Colorado

College.

Thus far, the Tigers have had their share of problems in \lCHA play. They are

tied with Michigan State for last place with a 1-5-0 record. Most of their games

had been close, however, before they lost to Michigan at Ann Arbor last weekend by

scores of 7-0 and J2-4. Overall, the Tigers are 9-8-0. #II Mailed February 5, 1964 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - ''We have to sweep the series this weekend to stay alivel"

The author of that desperate-sounding statement is University of Minnesota hockey coach John Mariucci. The series he refers to is with Colorado College

which challenges the Gophers at Williams Arena Friday and Saturday nights, starting at 8:00.

The gist of his grim declaration is that the Gophers must lick the Tigers twice to stay in the forefront of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association race. He might have added that a sweep will catapult Minnesota into sole possession of

the driver t s seat it now shares with Michigan on the strength of identical 5-1-0

records. The Wolverines are slated for non-league play this weekend. "Colorado will be an inspired team for this series, II Mariucci continues. "They're loaded with Minnesota boys who will want to play well before a home state

crowd and, of course, (Tiger coach) Bob Johnson will be out to beat his old coach."

Johnson was a key man on Mariucci's 1952-53 and 1953-54 teams. Mariucci is pleased with his squad's developnent. He feels it has come a

long way from the campaign's ear1y days when the Gophers dropped three out of their

first four games and appeared headed for a long, hard year.

IIJohn Lothrop is playing real well for us in the goal, II says the Gopher

skipper. "I think he has more potential than any sophomore goaltender we've had since Jack McCartan." Mariucci is also hapPY' with the way his sophomore line of Doug Woog, Bruce Larson and Gary Hokanson is improving. He is not so enthused about the overall defensive play of the Gophers. ''We're still not doing the job on defense," he contends. "This has been our biggest problem all year and still is."

The Gopher freshman team provides the preliminary action Friday in an intra­ squad game at 6:30. Cretin and Blake do the honors Saturday. Mailed February 6, 1964 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota swimming team will close out

its Big Ten dual meet season Friday night in the Cooke Hall exhibition pool here

against a University of Michigan aggregation that looms as one of the goliaths of

the intercollegiate swim world.

Recent results indicate that this year's Wolverine squad is Bubstantially

improved over the one that finished second to Indiana in the 1963 Big Ten meet,

and captured third place in the NCAA championships. Michigan served notice on the

Gophers by submerging Michigan State 61 - 44 last Saturday. A week earlier Minnesota

needed the advantage of a split-decision finish in the final event of the day to

edge the Spartans.

Heading Michigan's array of tank stars are two standouts regarded as strong

candidates for the United States Olympic team. They are Edward Bartsch and Bill

Farley. Bartsch, the 1963 NCAA 200-yard backstroke champion, won the lOO-meter

backstroke event in the 1963 Pan American games, and was a member of the United

States team that toured Japan last year. Farley was runnerup in the 1963 National

AAU 1,650 and 500-yard freestyle races. He was a member of the United States team

in the Pan American Games and also toured Japan.

'!he most outstanding high school diver in Minnesota history will appear with

the Wolverine cont:ingent. He is Bruce Brown of Rochester, five-time state high school champion and now a sophomore at Ann Arbor. Wally Richardson, Minnesota's record-breaking butterflY ace, faces a strong threat in Wolverine Jeff Moore.

The meet will start off at 8:00 p.m. with the 400-yard medley relay race which promises to be a thriller. Reserved seat tickets for the meet are on sale at the Cooke Hall ticket office this week. , Mailed February 10, 1964 For release upon reeeipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Now sole proprietor of first place in the Western Collegiate

Hockey Association, Minnesota starts on the toughest segment of its schedule this

weekend when it travels to Colorado College for a second straight series with

the Tigers.

The CC junket is the first of three consecutive road series the Gophers must

play before returning to the friendly expanse of the Williams Arena ice.

Following this weekend I s action, Hinnesota invades Michigan and North D~ota where

victories for visiting teams are usually scarce. The Wolverine series could have

decisive effect on the WCHA title.

On the strength of their double win over Colorado last weekend, the Gophers

(7-1-0) have a game lead on runnerup Michigan (5-1-0). Denver is third (4-1-1).

Michigan travels to Michigan State Friday and then entertains the same foe

Saturday. Denver is idle.

Colorado could prove a tough obstacle on its own ice. The Gophers were able

to stifle the Tiger scoring weapons last weekend but had a little difficulty

finding the net themselves. Both contests were decided in large part by the

brilliant performances of Minnesota goalie John Lothrop who, in the 3-0 victory Friday scored the first Gopher shutout since Chuck Steinweg turned the trick back

in 1960. In the process, Lothrop slashed his goals-against record to 3.83 and upped

his stop percentage for the season to .883.

Roy Nystrom maintains his five-point lead over Craig Fallanan in the race for

Gopher scoring honors with 25 points on 12 goals and J3 assists. The statistics: ,

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota basketball team will place its hopes of a high finish in the Big Ten scramble on the line against formidable Illinois before a predicted turnout of more than 15,000 in Williams Arena here Saturday night. For the Gophers, still a contender with their 5 - 3 record in Conference play, this is a "must" game if they are to remain within striking distance of pace- setting Michigan and pursuing Ohio State. The Illini likewise still hsve their sights on nothing less than the title. Minnesota, with Captain Bill Davis (6-6) and Lou Hudson (6-5) at the forwards and Mel Northway (6-S) at center, will have the advantage in height and heft over the Illini front line of Don Freeman (6-2) and Bogie Redmon (6-5i), forwards, and Skip Thoren (6-Si)' center. The Gopher guard combination of Terry Kunze (6-3) and Archie Clark (6-l~) will likewise hold a slight margin over Tal Brody (6-2) and Jim Vopicka (6-l~) who handle backcourt duties for Illinois. It appears on the basis of personnel and performances by the two teams so far this season that Minnesota will rely heavily on its "muscle" and balanced scoring to offset the speed and coordination of the Illini who specialize in riddling opposing defenses with their fast-striking and smooth ball-handling tactics. Of particular concern to Coach John Kundla at the moment is Kunze's shooting slump. The junior guard from Duluth connected on only one of seven field goal attempts against Iowa last Saturday. Kundla may replace Kunze with sophomore Don Yates who has a .379 field goal percentage compared to Kunze's .372. Latest statistics for the season to date show Lou Hudson, sophomore forward, pacing the Minnesota regulars in total points (336), field goal shooting percentage (.442), and. per-game point average (18.6). Northway is running far ahead in rebounds with 210. The statistics: ------.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Roy Griak's undefeated record as Minnesota track coach is in dire peril of being snapped Saturday when Wisconsin's mighty squad invades the

Gopher Field House for a 1:30 p.m. televised(WCCo-Channel 4) dual meet. The Badgers, also unbeaten and favorites for the Big Ten indoor title, will be heavily favored to add the Gophers to their list of victims which includes Ohio State and defending indoor and outdoor champion Iowa. Wisconsin drubbed the Buckeyes 94-47 and humiliated the Hawkeyes 111-30. 'Wisconsin is one of the strongest dual meet teams the Big Ten has had in a long time," says Griak. "The way they handled Iowa is proof of that." The Badgers will be especially tough in the 440 with Elzie Higginbottom a

favorite to beat the Gophers I best, Bart Uplinger and Creighton Fleming, as well as

in the shot put, high jump, and broad jump. Don Hendrickson and Bill Holden are defending Big Ten champs in the shot and high jump respectively while Barry Ackerman is a top broad jumper. Billy Smith is a fleet performer in the 60 yard dash and low hurdles.

Griak expects Hinnesota I s Tom Barnes to give Hendrickson a real battle however, and feels sophomore John Shaffer should be able to make things interesting in the pole vault. Badger sophs Brian Bergemann and Dave Seiberlich have both vaulted 14 feet while Shaffer has cleared 13-9. Other events in which the Gophers could be tough are the 880 where Ray

Miller, Carl Jones and Wayne Thronson will challenge Wisconsin I s Bill Gill and the distance races in which Norris Peterson could be a threat. - ._. ------

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. -A big, fat question mark sums up the long-range outlook for

the University of Minnesota baseball team which began practice this week

preparatory to the start of the 1964 campaign late next month.

''Welre very young and very green,'! Coach Dick Siebert admits. 'We'll have

to rely a great deal on sophomore talent. I think we have some good potential

among our youngsters, but you never know how sophs are going to react."

Ten lettermen are lost from last year's squad which tied for third-place

in the Big Ten, including six regulars who were also the six leading hitters"

three starting pitchers and one rellefer. Only five monogram men return - Capt.

and shortstop Duane Markus" firstbaseman Bill Davis, pitcher Joe Pollack,

catcher-outfielder Ron Wojciak and outfielder Alan Druskin. Markus" Davis and

Pollack were all regulars last season while Wojciak was an alternate.

Top sophomore prospects are pitcher-outfielder Frank Brosseau; outfielders

Dave Hoffman and Bob Rofidal and infielders Pat Hergott" Steve Schneider and

Ron Roalstad.

The Gophers start their southern tour March 23 against Texas and Texas

Lutheran. They launch Big Ten action April 24 against Purdue.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - No longer in first place or even in second, the University of

~tu!nesota hockey team embarks on its most difficult road trip of the season this

weekend when it invades the lair of the powerful vlolverines of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

The Gophers had their once imposing Western Collegiate Hockey Association

record tarnished badly by a surprising Colorado College sextet at Colorado Springs

last Friday and Saturday by scores of 8-4 and 7-6. The disaster left the

Minnesotans in third place with a (7-3-0) mark behind the front-running Wolverines

(7-1-0) and runnerup Denver (4-1-1).

Oddly enough, Minnesota scored more goals last weekend than they did the

preceding week in defeating the same Tiger team twice. Unfortunately, the Bangals

who appeared toothless here, scoring just two goals in the series, came out snarling

at Colorado Springs and wound up with 15 goals.

''We didn't play well at all on defense," admits Gopher coach John Mariucci.

"Besides that, we got into penalty trouble which enabled them to score several

goals while we were short-handed. If we don't play a whole lot better against

Michigan, we're in trouble."·

The Gophers and Wolverines split in their first series here early in

January, :t-lichigan winning the opener 5-1 and Minnesota salvaging the finale 6-;. Since then, the Wolverines have added a spectacular sophomore center named Mel

Wakabayashi and have regained the services of wing Alex Hood who was injured early

in the season.

Roy Nystrom still leads Gopher scoring with 2!7 points. He and Craig Falkman are tied for the top spot in goals with 12 each. Falkman is runnerup in total points with 23 while sophomore Doug Woog is close behind with 22. The statistics: 1963-64 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Hockey Statistics (Twenty Games)

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The radiant glow of well-being that encompassed Coach John

Kundla as the University of Minnesota basketball athletes subdued mighty Michigan

Tuesday night gave way to frowns of concern Wednesday morning as Kundla and his

chief scout, Dan Spika, set about to prepare for Saturday's encounter with

Illinois at Champaign.

There are several disturbing aspects of the project at hand. One is the

scarcity of Minnesota wins at Champaign since the schools first matched basketball

teams in 1906. Secondly is the statistics which reveals that Big Ten teams this

season have won only 11 of 46 Conference games played on foreign floors, and 11 of

35 against non-Conference foes. To compound Kundla' s worries, Illinois, a 92 - 81

loser to the Gophers in Williams Arena here on February 15, has polished off two

real toughies - Northwestern and Michigan State - on its home court.

Minnesota's fast break and dazzling feed-offs that proved the undoing of

Michigan's muscular manunoths Tuesday night, will not be as effective against the

speedy Illini who are expected to "fight fire with fire" in Saturday night's

encounter, according to Kundla's appraisal. Then, too, there is the matter of

building a defense to cope with Skip Thoren, towering Illini center who dumped in

23 points against the Gophers last Saturday night.

Terry Kunze's second half floor play and gunnery that netted 14 points to

stave off a threatening Michigan comeback apparently saved his starting guard job

and he is expected to pair with Archie Clark when the Gophers take the floor at

Champaign. Captain Bill Davis and Lou Hudson are forward fixtures now, as is

Mel Northway at center.

~rrNNEAPOLIS. - Having been stung by its first defeat of the season at the hands of Wisconsin's awesome dual meet juggernaut last weekend, Minnesota's

indoor track team seeks to return to the profit side of the ledger Saturday when it hosts the University of Manitoba at the Field House, starting at

1:30 p.m. The meet will be the first dual encounter in history between the two schools. 1'\'1e'll be favored," says Gopher coach Roy Gdak. "They can't match our depth but they do have some good boys."

Their top threat is Bryan Chalmers who won the 1,000 yard run in the Northwest Open earlier here in the month, setting field house and meet records in the process. Griak was pleased with his team's showing against Wisconsin despite the lopsided 86-37 margin. ''We made a lot of events closer than I had

expected, If Griak pointed out. He was particularly happy with the wirming performances of Tom Barnes in the shot, Byron Gigler in the high hurdles and Norris Peterson in the two-mile.

championships in the University of Minnesota's Cooke Hall March 5-6-7. Coaches and athletes are intensifying their training routine as they endeavor to hit peak form for this blue ribbon event that has all the early earmarks of

"the greatest ever." Two Conference records have been smashed in recent dual meet

competition, with promise of more to come before the cream of Big Ten swimmers and

divers descend on Cooke Hall. Michigan's Bill Farley whizzed through the 2OQ-yard

freestyle event against Michigan State to better by nearly two seconds the 1:48. 2

mark set last lear at Purdue by Indiana's Gary Verhoeven. Ted Stickles of Indiana,

maybe the world's best in the individual medley hasn't been pressed so far this

season in the 200-yard medley, but has alreaQy cruised to a 1:59.9 timing which

betters his own Big Ten record. Jim Counsilman, Indiana coach, has the Hoosiers riding the crest of 39 consecutive dual meet wins, but hasn't tried as yet to

bring his athletes to top form. Other outstanding performances in dual meet competition giving portent of the

dazzling show anticipated for Cooke Hall March 5-6-7: 50-yard Free Style - :21.8, Darryle Kifer, Michigan State.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota basketball team, its championship

hopes snuffed out by Illinois last Saturday in what Coach John Kundla terms 1I0 ur

poorest team effort this season, II begins a campaign to lock up third place in the

Big Ten standings as it entertains fast-improving Iowa Saturday in Williams Arena

here.

Shaken by the ragged play of the Gophers at Champaign, Kundla and his charges

are taking nothing for granted as they prepare for a return encounter with the

Hawkeyes they defeated 76 - 71 February 8 at Iowa City.

"It seemed like our boys were still way up on a cloud last Saturday following

their great win over Michigan, and they couldn't get back to earth, II mused Kundla

earlier this week as he strove to get the Gophers back on the same high team work

plane they achieved in dumping the front-running Wolverines.

Dan Spika, assistant Minnesota coach and chief scout, reports that the young

sophomore-sprinkled Rawkeyes are a substantially better team than they were at the

time of the earlier meeting. This is a building year for Sharm Scheuerman who will

start three sophomore, a junior, and one senior against the Gophers here. The

first-year men are 6-7 Ed Bastian, center; 6-7 Joel Jessen, forward; and 6-4 Dennis

Pauling, guard. Jimmy Rodgers who has been the hottest of Hawkeyes marksmen in

recent games is the junior. Dave Roach, forward, is the lone senior. He is an outstanding player. Gary Olson, 6-5 soph forward, had a good night against the Gophers at Iowa City and is slated for extensive action here Saturday. The youth movement at Iowa has found Captain Andy Hanldns, senior guard, relegated to the bench.

While their over-all record in unimpressiva, the Hawkeyes have demonstrated in knocking off Indiana twice this season that they can make trouble for any Big Ten foe.

Saturday's game will be the Williams Arena finale for Captain Bill Davis, AI Drusk1n, and Don Linehan. The 6:15 preliminary game will be a Minnesota freshman intra-squad affair. Minnesota's statistics to date: "'_·C___

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota's hockey Gophers J currently afflicted with a four-

game losing streakJ face their third consecutive road trip this weekend with a

two-game series against North Dakota at Grand Forks J where it's always tough for a

visitor to win.

The Gophers, now 7-5 in Western Collegiate Hockey Association playJ had their

once-robust title hopes all but snuffed out by Michigan at Ann Arbor last week by

convincing 6-3 and 8-2 margins. In additionJ they lost the services for the season of sophomore wing Bruce Larson who suffered a shoulder seperation in the Saturday loss.

Larson's departure snarls the all-sophomore second line which also includes

Doug Woog and Gary Hokanson. Larson is the fifth leading scorer on the team with

20 points. He is tied with Roy Nystrom for the lead in goals with 13. Either Dick

Bloom, John Torrel or Mike Alm is likely to replace him.

Coach John Mariucci plans extensive experimentation with two of his three

lines before coming up with a definite combination for the Sioux series. Only the

No.1 line of Lorne Grosso, Craig Falkman and Nystrom is sure to remain in tact.

The Gopher defense again was lacking in the disaster at Arm Arbor. Goalie

John Lothrop had to stave off 104 shots in the two games to prevent the scores from mounting even higher.

Minnesota is still third in the WCHA while North Dakota is fifth (4-5-1).

Nichigan Tech is fourth (5-5-0). The Sioux whipped UMD twice last weekend. The

Bulldogs" it will be remembered, won three of four from the Gophers this year.

of its Big Ten title March S - 6 - 7 in Cooke Hall at the University of Minnesota

is "Can chief challengers Michigan State, l-tlchigan, Ohio State, and Minnesota

split up the points enough to give the high-flying Hoosiers a battle for the

championship?"

Michigan, a perennial power in intercollegiate swimming and 10 times the

NCAA team champion, has superlative performers in freestylers Dick Walls and Bill

Farley, and backstroker Ed Bartsch. Walls and Minnesota's Mike Stauffer are

credited with the fastest lOO-yard freestyle time in the Conference this season -­

48.1 seconds. Farley has already broken the existing Big Ten record with a 1:46.9

timing in the 20o-yard freestyle, and owns the fastest clocking in the SOO-yard

freestyle at 5:00.1. He beat the best of Indiana's distance men on the way to this

feat. Bartsch is a strong threat in his specialty.

Michigan State has a powerful corps of freestyle sprinters in Dick

Gretzinger, Neil Watts, and Jim MacMillan, and Daryle Kifer. This foursome not

only figures to score heavily in the 50, 100, 200, Soo, and 1,6So-yard freestyle

events, but could also cop the 400-yard freestyle relay for 16 points.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Probably the finest field ever assembled in the history of the

Big Ten Conference Swimming and Diving championships will converge on the University

of Minnesota's Cooke Hall exhibition pool for the 54th renewal of this banner event.

'lbursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Indiana, undefeated in five years of dual meet competition, is the top-heavy

favorite to repeat for the Conference championship. However, Michigan, Michigan

State, and Minnesota have enough outstanding talent to cut in heavily on the

Hoosier scoring.

Many holders of Big Ten, National Collegiate, and American records are included

in the all-star cast that will take to the Cooke Hall pool Thursday afternoon.

Several of these luminaries are prime candidates for the United states team that

will compete in the summer Olympic Games at Tokyo, Japan.

Gary Verhoeven of Indiana will be on hand to defend his Big Ten titles in the

200 and 500-yard freestyle events. Last year at Ptrdue he set the NCAA record at

200 yards and the Big Ten mark at 500 yards. Verhoeven will be no shoo-in in his

favorite races, however. Already this season Bill Farley, lI.dchigan's sensational

sophomore from La Canada, California has bettered the Hoosier's 2OQ-yard mark with

a 1:46.49 timing.

Tom Stock of Indiana, rated one of the world's backstroke standouts, established

an NCAA record for the 2QO-yard backstroke event in the '63 Conference meet and

will be on hand to defend his laurels. Michigan's Ed Bartsch promises to extend

Stock when they clash here. Minnesota's Wally Richardson who holds Big Ten, NCAA, and American records in the 100 and 200-yard butterfly events, will face a determined bid from Indiana's

Lary Schulhof who has posted the best time among the nation's collegians. These two rivals are expected to produce some of the meet's keenest competition on their way to bids for places on the U.S.A. Olympic team.

Hoosier Ted Stickles, holder of the NCAA individual medley record at 200 yards and the American record at 400 yards, has been on a record-breaking rampage this season. It will surprise no one it he smashes marks at both distances. Particularly at 400-yards Stickles is purported to be without a peer in the world.

Rick Gilbert of Indiana who captured a national AAU diving title two years ago as a freshman, is expected to treat local diving fans to one of the finest exhibitions ever seen in this area as he performs in both the one~eter and three-meter events. Gilbert is generally considered to be Uncle Sam's best bet for a diving gold medal in the Olympic Games.

Qualifying events will be held starting at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and

Saturday, with five finals scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Thursday, six more at 8:00 p.m. Friday, and seven (including last heat of 1,650 yard freestyle trials) at 8:00 p.m. Saturday.

General admission tickets for the atternoon-evening sessions are priced at

$1.25 and will be on sale at the gate. Reserved seat tickets for the night sessions only are on sale all this week at Cooke Hall. They are $2.00.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Having checked their losing skein at four, the Minnesota hockey Gophers seek to clinch third place and possibly climb higher in the

i~estern Collegiate Hockey Association race when they entertain North Dakota at

'ililliams Arena Friday and Saturday. Game time both nights is 8:00 p.m. The Gophers could finish second with a sweep, coupled with a pair of upsets

by fourth~place Michigan Tech over runnerup Denver. Such a development would

give ~tinnesota an 11-5-0 Association record to Denver's 6-3-1. Whatever the outcome of this weekend's action, the Gophers can't finish worse than fourth which usually would qualify for a playoff berth. Unfortunately, it appears that they won't be able to compete in the playoffs. The playoff dates, Harch 12-14, conflict with the University's final schedule. University policy prohibits athletic contests during the final examination period. Unless an adjustment is made in the playoff schedule, there is little likelihood of Minnesota

making the grade. The Gophers accomplished their surprising sweep of the Sioux at Grand Forks last weekend largely on the strength of the scoring of the first line, which accounted for seven of the team's nine goals, and the fine goaltending of John Lothrop who turned away 77 shots. Craig Falkman by virtue of his four goals and three assists against the Sioux, moved to within one point of Roy Nystrom in the battle for Minnesota scoring honors. Nystrom has 33 points to Falkman's 32. Falkman leads in goals with 16. The statistics: 1963-64 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Hockey Statistics (Twenty-four Games)

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - John Mariucci's surprising University of Minnesota hockey

team hopes to even the Gopher-North Dakota all-time series record this weekend when

the Sioux invade Williams Arena £or a two-game set.

The Friday and Saturday contests, both set for 8 p.m., will be preceded by

intra-squad games featuring the Gopher freshman squad, starting at 6:30.

The Dakotans have a 35-33-1 edge in the overall series between the two

teams, one of the hardest-fought rivalries in collegiate hockey history. The old

foes first squared off against each other on the ice back in 1929.

A year ago North Dakota's NCAA champions had the better of the competition,

taking all four games from the Gophers. Minnesota is well on its way to turning

the tables this season following its twin-killing at Grand Forks last weekend.

The Sioux, like the Gophers, are relying heavily on sophomores. They lost

10 members of their national championship squad and added a like number of sophs.

Ten Gopher first-year men also have seen frequent action.

Top performers tor the Sioux include junior goalie Joe Lech, Capt.

Maruice "Sonny" Roberge and Alternate Capt. John Sutherland, both def'ensemen, along

with forwards Gerry Kell, Dave Mazur, Terry Casey, W~'l1e Gurba and George Chigol.

Lech is among the WCHA's better netminders with a 2.9 goals-against average in WCHA

play. Followers of the Sioux consider Sutherland to be of all-American caliber.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota basketball team (9 - 4), secure

in its third place position in the Big Ten standings, faces an old nemesis in

Indiana (4 - 8) Saturday night at Bloomington where the Gophers will close out

their best season in Conference play since 1955, and climax their top effort in

five years under the direction of Coach John Kundla.

While Minnesota fans, mindful of the fact that there is only one senior ­

Captain Bill Davis - among the "top seven" varsity starters, are looking ahead to

better things in 1964-65, Coach Kundla is deeply concerned with the project at hand.

He has yet to come away from Bloomington a winner. In 1960 the Hoosiers topped the

Gophers 78 - 74 on the former's home court. The Gophers managed wins at Minneapolis

in 1961 and 1962, but were thwarted in the second '62 game 105 - 104. It was

somewhat the same story last season. Minnesota fell before Indiana 89 - 77 down

there, only to wallop Branch McCracken & Co. 105 - 73 in the return engagement

at Williams Arena. Thus it would seem that the current edition of the Gophers is

confronted with a "jinx-breaking" project this Saturday.

The Minnesota defense which has been a frequent source of dissatisfaction,

and sometimes even downright disgust, to Coach John Kundla will face one of its

severest tests of the season in Indiana's brilliant Van Arsdale twins. They are

consistently great, - one of the best 1-2 scoring punches in the league.

Anytime they receive solid support from their teammates, the Hoosiers become a

match for any team in the Conference. This they proved in forcing Ohio State's

front-runners to overtime before bowing 98 - 96.

A voluable, articulate indiVidual, Rupp has never been at a loss for words and gestures, either to his own players or game officials during his spectacular career. He is a perfectionist in the science of basketball, and is noted for the sound offensive play and strong defensive play of his teams.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Junior wing Roy Nystrom is the University of Minnesota hockey

team's scoring champion for 1963-64.

Nystrom wound up with 36 points on 17 goals and 19 assists, just two points

ahead of Craig Fallonan, his partner on the No. 1 Gopher line. He also led in

goals scored, Fallonan again being runnerup With 16.

Sophomore center Lorne Grosso finished third with 29 points to give the

starting forward contingent a sweep of the top three positions. Two other sophs,

center Doug Woog and wing Bruce Larson, took the fourth and fifth spots.

Rookie goalie John Lothrop gave up 110 goals for the season but also

registered 834 saves for a stop percentage of .883.

Although the Gophers' swan song Saturday was a losing one, their eeason must

be termed a rousing success. By finishing third in the Western Collegiate Hockey

Association, they far surpassed the most optimistic pre-season predictions.

Except for a conflict between the WCHA playoffs and the University examination

period, JohJm Mariucci 's squad would be preparing for post-season play this

weekend. Instead, they must wait until next year.

The outlook is bright, however. Only two seniors, defensemen Dave Metzen and

Bill Ramsay, will be lost from this season's team. Some good prospects from the

current freshman squad should help, including defensemen Jim Branch and Bruce

Melander and forwards Rolf Vinnes, Jack Dale, Dennis Zacho, Jon Kulstad and

Bill Ronning.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota basketball team fell short in its championship aspirations, but it did present Gopher fans with the best season (17 - 7) and Big Ten (10 - 4) record in 10 years, a third-place finish in the Conference, and six team and one individual season records. The following season statistics reveal that the 1963-64 Minnesota squad wrote the following records into the books: 1. Most team points in 14-game conference schedule - 1,202. Former record 1,186 points 1961-62. 2. Highest scoring average for 14-game conference schedule.-- 85.8. Former record 84.7 points 1961-62. 3. Most team points in 24-game schedule - 1,941. Former record 1,882 in 1961-62 season. 4. Highest field goal percentage for 24-game schedule - .426 (765 of 1,793). Former record .414 (692 of 1,671) in 1961-62 season. 5. Most individual rebounds in 14-game conference schedule - 168 by Mel Northway. Former record 155 by Ron Johnson 1959-60. 6. Most team points scored against Big Ten Conference opponent ­ 111 against Wisconsin February 1.

7. }.fost team points scored against any opponent - 111 against Wisconsin February 1. While Captain Bill Davis, only graduating "regular," will be missed for his leadership and competitive spirit, Minnesota's outlook for the 1964-65 basketball season must be considered bright with Juniors Mel Northway and Terry Kunze, and sophomores, Lou Hudson, Archie Clark, Don Yates, and Dennis Dvoracek expected to return. They will be joined by "blue-chip" freshmen Paul Presthus, 6-5 forward from Rugby, North Dakota, and Gar,y Lovemark, 6-8i center from Robbinsdale.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - One of the most inexperienced University of Minnesota baseball

squads in many years leaves Saturday for Texas and the start of the 1964 campaign.

Only five lettermen will make the trip.

Ahead lies a rugged schedule which will find the Gophers p1ayi.ng 10 games in

five days. To enable his green players to get as much season1ng as possible,

Coach Dick Siebert will divide his 25-man roster into two squads. He will direct

one while Assistant Coach Glenn Gostick will coach the other. Both teams will

play one game on each of the five days.

"I won't be trying to build a record," says Siebert. '!My main concern is to

give the whole squad a chance to play and enable me to get an idea of what they

can do in actual competition. We probably will lose more games this way, but it

should be more helpful in the long run."

Gostick's team will take on Texas at Austin and Siebert's will challenge

Texas Lutheran at Seguin Monday and Tuesday. They will both shift operations to

San Antonio for the remainder of the trip. Gostick' B squad will face Texas A & }1:

Wednesday and Thursday and Trinity College Friday. The Siebert-coached crew will

meet Lackland Air Force Base Wednesday, St. Mary's University Thursday and

Randolph Air Force Base Friday.

Siebert points to Texas and Texas A &M as the two most dangerous foes on

the agenda. Both are ranked among the top teams in the always strong southwest.

The more veteran of the two Gopher squads will tackle these toughies.

The Gophers will conclude their Texas visit wi.th an intra-squad battle at

San Antonio Saturday morning before leaving for home.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Youth is the prime ingredient in the University of Minnesota

baseball team that leaves Saturday on its annual Texas trip. The squad is the

youngest in Dick Siebert's 17-year tenure as the guiding force behind Gopher

diamond fortunes.

Just four seniors are on the roster and only three of them are being counted

on for heavy duty - Capt. Duane Markus at second base, Bill Davis at first and

Alan Druskin in the outfield. Ten juniors and 15 sophomores round out the squad.

There are only five lettermen. Markus, Davis and junior pitcher Joe Pollack are

the only returning regulars, although catcher Ron Wojciak was an alternate in the

outfield in 1963. Pollack is the sole member of last spring's mound staff who

will be back.

Markus has been shifted to second base, his natural position, after playing

shortstop last year. Dick McCullough, a junior with a great throwing arm, appears

to have the inside track at short, although Dick Anderson, another junior, and two

SOphs, Pat Hergott and Steve Schneider, are in the running. Junior Jerry Cawley

has been the No. 1 third baseman to date.

The outfield is uncertain with Druskin, Anderson, junior Bob Werness and two

sophomores - Dave Hoffman and Bob Rofidal - all vying for starting jobs. Another

soph, Frank Brosseau, Will be eligible spring quarter and is rated a top prospect

both in the outfield and as a pitcher.

Other mound hopefuls are sophomores Tom Lindberg, Rene Valenciano and Dick

Mielke, along with junior Dan Howard. Two more sophomore pitchers, Erik Kleven

and Steve Brand are out for the season with injuries.

The Gophers open their Texas swing Monday with games against Texas at Austin and Texas Lutheran at Seguin. ### Mailed March 18, 1964 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - With no great expectations for 1964, the University of

lfinnesota golf and tennis teams leave for Texas this weekend and a week of

competition against some of the finest teams in the country.

Les Bolstad's defending Big Ten champion golfers will compete in the tenth

annual All American Tournament at Pine Forest Country Club in Houston, Texas.

The week-long tourney will include such top collegiate squads as defending NCAA

champion Oklahoma State and Houston, State's chief rival for national honors.

Don Lewis will send his young tennis squad against Houston, St. Edward's,

Texas A & M, Southeastern State College of Oklahoma and Rice. All competition

will take place in Houston.

The golfing Gophers will be without last year's captain Les Peterson who

finished fifth in the Big Ten championships. All-American Dave Gumlia, last

season I s Big Ten runnerup will be back, but Bolstad isn't predicting any

championships this spring.

Although the tennis squad is young and inexperienced, Lewis thinks it should

be stronger than last year I s entry which finished last in the Big Ten. Four

sophomores may make the starting six, paced by Jerry Noyce who looks like the

No. 1 man. They will take up the slack left by the departure of four lettermen" including Frank IO.eckner, a promising junior who is attending school on a part-time basis.

As Murray Warmath heads into his 11th season as head football coach at the

University of Minnesota he finds himself confronted with more problems than at any

time since he took over the coaching reins here.

From the thinly-manned ranks of the 1963 squad are missing 13 lettermen

including six regulars and the two "blue Chipll tackles - All American Carl

Eller and Captain Milt Sunde - who bulwarked the stout Gopher line that accounted

in large measure for the No.2 rank defensively in the Big Ten, despite a 9th place

finish on a 2 - 5 record. The other departed regulars are Larry Hartse, guard;

Paul Ramseth, defensive quarterback;. Bob Sadek, quarterback; and, Jerry Pelletier,

halfback. IDss of Eller and Sunde leaves gaping holes in the Maroon and Gold

forward wall, with no one in sight to replace them.

Warmath I s BIG problem stems from the fact that the squad has suffered heavy

losses in personnel for the past two seasons, with only two mediocre, star-less freshman squads to plug the gaps in talent. For the first time since 1959 the

Gophers will have to get along in football's "toughest league" without a single

candidate for all-star honors.

The nucleus of the 1964 Minnesota eleven will be the six returning "regulars"

among the 21 lettermen expected to report for spring practice. They are Aaron

Brown and Bob Bruggers, ends; Willie Costanza, guard; Dick Harren, junior halfback who came into his own in Minnesota's closing 14 - 0 triumph over Wisconsin; Frank Marchlewski; center; and Mike Reid, fullback. Harren's availability is somewhat beclouded by another in a series of knee operations.

According to Warmath, "We have nothing but problems at all positions, with

the exception of center. II Admittedly the No.1 project of the coaching staff will be to come up with a quarterback who can pass and run, and a pair of Big Ten caliber tackles. The only newcomers seen as having the potential to help the Gopher varsity this year are Chet Anderson, 225-POWld, 6-3 end from Duluth; Ken Last,

203-pound, 6-4 end from Bloomington; Jerry Newsome, 2l0-pound, 6-0 fullback from Minneapolis (South High); Ken Rota, l85-POWld, 6-0 halfback from Minneapolis

(Benilde); Joe Schmiesing, 225-pound, 6-3 tackle from Sauk Centre; and Glen

Wirtanen, l85-pound, 6-0 quarterback from Downers Grove. Schmiesing, sorely needed to help the "hurting" tackle situation, may miss spring practice because of a leg fracture that kept him on crutches virtually all winter. ------I RETURNING LETTERMEN (1963 Playing Time in Parentheses)

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota swimming, wrestling and gymnastics

teams all will compete in NCAA meets this weekend.

Bob Mowerson's swimmers will journey to the Yale University campus in

New Haven, Conn. for the three-day splash championships which start 'lbursday.

The Gophers placed fourth nationally last year but Mowerson expects them to

slip several notches this time around.

A nine-man squad will make the trip, including freestylers RalJb Allen.. Jim Dragon and Mike Stauffer; individual medley specialist John Bergman;

butterflYers Ray Ellis and Wally Richardson; breaststrokers Virg Luken and

Joe Clack and backstroker Bud Ericksen. Richardson is defending champion in

the lOO-yard butterflY. He also is Big Ten champ in that event. Luken holds

the Big Ten 200 yard breaststroke title.

Wally Johnson will take a five-man squad to the wrestling showdown at

Cornell University in Ithaca.. New York. The Gopher group includes Larry Lloyd,

115 pounds; Capt. Lewis Kennedy, 137; Lee Gross .. 147; John Klein, 167; Bob Ramstad .. 177. Kennedy got as far as the semi-finals a year ago. He and Gross

are Big Ten champs.

Co-captains Larry Gleason and Bill Eibrink along with Tom Arneson comprise Ralph Piperts entry in the gymnastics meet at Los Angeles. Arneson is considered

a good bet to finish high in the side horse while Gleason is a threat in the high bar. ### Mailed March 30, 1964 For release on receipt

MINNEAPOLIS. - Coach Don Lewis' University of Minnesota tennis team, just back

from its competitive baptism in Texas, journeys to Ames, Iowa Saturday to play Iowa

State and Wheaton in a pair of dual meets. Meanwhile, Les Bolstad's golf' team

also back from Texas, will not see inter-eollegiate competition again until May 5.

The reason for the golfers' inactivity is not laziness or reluctance but

the unsprlnglike aspect of April in Uinnesota. Putting greens are not in shape

tor practice until the first of May.

Lewis was especially pleased with the play of sophomore Jerry Noyce who

performed in excellent style on the southern venture. This helped sweeten the

Gophers 1-5-1 record which was about what Lewis expected from his youthful squad

on its first venture outdoors. Bolstad had words ot praise for Bob Hustralid as well as Dave Gumlia,

although the Gopher captaints play in the All-American tournament at Houston was

ene-tie. Hustralid turned in the best overall performance of any Gopher. Mailed March 30, 1964 For release upon receipt.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Murray Warmath is expecting 21 lettermen to report for the opening of the University of Minnesota's spring football practice Saturday when

he begins fashioning his eleventh edition of the football Go}i1ers.

At no time since he took over the Minnesota coaching helm in 1954 has

\'1armath faced more problems than those contronting him and his start this spring.

The bright spot in the Minnesota football picture last fall as the Gophers

finished ninth in the Big Ten on a 2 - 5 record was the defensive play that

earned them the No. 2 rank in the Conference in this department. However, both

All American Tackle Carl Eller and Captain Milt Sunde, tackle, who bul\1arked

the tough Minnesota line have completed their competition. Their departure

creates gaping holes in the Maroon and Gold front wall, and with no "heirs

apparent" in sight. Trying to come up with some Big Ten caliber material at

tackle, guard, quarterback, and fullback will be the most pressing projects facing

the coaching starf.

The nucleus around which t-larmath and his associates will probab~ start to

build for the 1964 season will be ends Aaron Brown and Bob Bruggers; guard Willie

Costanza; halfback Dick Harren; centers Frank Marchlewsld. and Captain Joe Fungj fullback Mike Reid. These players finished the '63 season as regulars. Apparently the best-fortified positions are end where lettermen Dick Bassett

and John Rajala, 1963 reserve Kent Kramer, and sophomore prospects Chat Anderson

and Ken Last back up Brown and Bruggers; and center where Marchlewski, Pung,

Paul Faust, and Daryl Ramey, 1963 reserve, afford good strength and depth. Mailed April 6, 1964 For release upon receipt.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Fickle April is back again and, as is so often the case in the early stages of the fourth month, the University of Minnesota baseball team is

finding it difficult to play its scheduled games due to unspringlike temperatures

along with rain and snow. With last weekend's pair of doubleheaders at Iowa State having fallen victim to rain and cold, Coach Dick Siebert hopes the weather will allow his Gophers to get back into action for their scheduled 1964 home openers against North Dakota

State Friday and St. Thomas Saturday at Delta Field. Doubleheaders are slated for

both days, starting at 2 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday.

The young Gophers are badly in need of competition to prePare them for the

rugged Big Ten camPaign which starts late this month. They returned from Texas a

week ago with a 3-8 record, a feeble .2C17 team batting average and an anemic .915 fielding percentage.

Siebert, cognizant of the inexperience of his squad before the season got

underway, scheduled a non-conference slate brimming with doubleheaders - no fewer

than seven of them. Now that the weather has already erased two twin bills, the

remaining ones loom as even more important.

The likely starting lineup for the weekend activity finds Bill Davis at first, Capt. Duane Markus at second, sophomore Steve Schneider at Short" and Jerry Cawley

at third with sophomores Dave Hoftman, Archie Clark and Frank Brosseau in the

outfield. Brosseau also will pitch one of the four games" along with Joe Pollack"

Dick Mielke and either Dan Howard or Tom Lindberg. Ron Wojciak and Bob Rofidal will do the catching. -0- Mailed April 8, 1964 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Coach Roy Griak will try an innovation in University of

Minnesota track Saturday - a night indoor meet against a new opponent,

Western Kentucky. The action will take place in the Field House with field

events starting at 7 p.m. and running events at 7:30.

Tom Ecker I s Western Kentucky teams have been among the most successful

in their area in recent years and the current squad boasts considerable

strength in the broad jump, pole vault, half-mile and high hurdles.

The Gophers will be hurting in the latter event. The temporary loss of

Byron Gigler, who has a pulled thigh muscle, leaves them without a single

competitor in the highs.

On the profit side, quarter-miler Bart Uplinger has recovered from a

severe case of mononucleosis. and, although weakened by his recent illness, is

expected to compete Saturday.

Minnesota with a 3-5-1 record.

Jerry Noyce continues to hold down the No. 1 singles spot and couples with

Lewis, who was disappointed with his squad's double loss to Wisconsin and Illinois at Madison last week, thinks the Gophers have a good chance against the

Hawkeyes, providing they play up to their ability.

"We felt that we could have beaten Illinois, if we had played up to par, II

he admits. "Iou have to expect ups and downs when you're going with sophomores,

though.. II

Lewis plans no immediate lineup changes but adds that the picture could

change before Saturday.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Encouraged by his University of Minnesota baseball team's

performance last weekend, if not by the weather which followed, Coach Dick Siebert

looks forward to a busy weekend featuring doubleheaders with State College of Iowa

at 2 p.m. Friday and South Dakota State at 1 p.m. Saturday at Delta Field.

The weather could have something to say about these fine plans, of course, as

it did in forcing postponement of Tuesday's scheduled game with Augsburg.

"I was definitely encouraged by our play against North Dakota State and

St. Thomas last week," Siebert explains. ''Defensively, we held up real well,

conmitting only three errors in four games. Although we didn't score a lot of

runs, we hit the ball well, too, a lot better than our hit totals would indicate.

We had to contend with a strong wind blowing directly in on home plate which

probably prevented a number of well-hit balls from going for hits."

Among the shining lights in the hitting attack were three Gopher basketball

players: Bill Davis, a notoriously slow starter who belted a three-run homer

against St. Thomas; Archie Clark, whose four-bagger won the same contest; and Alan

Drusldn who contributed a two-run circuit smash against the Nodaks. Dave Hoffman

and Jerry Cawley also hit the ball well.

Gopher pitching won Siebert's confidence with its overall competence, including

shutouts by Dick Mielke, Dan Howard and Joe Pollack. Generally excellent control

was especially pleasing.

Siebert plans no lineup changes for the weekend and expects to throw Pollack

and Frank Brosseau against a tough State College of Iowa team Friday and Mielke

and either Howard or Tom Lindberg against South Dakota State Saturday. -0------~ - --- ~ ------

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Murray Warmath believes that the potential of a football team

can be predicted fairly accurately on the basis of its strength "through the

middle" - in other words, its centers, quarterbacks, and fullbacks. To him, they

are the llheart ll of the team.

It appears that the center situation in so far as the 1964 football Gophers

are concerned is pretty well resolved, with Captain Joe Pung and Frank Marchlewski,

two capable, experienced seniors, available to share the chore3.

However, spectators at the armual spring intra-squad game in Memorial Stadium

on Saturday, May 2 will witness a wide-open contest for the quarterback and fullback

posts as Warmath seeks to beef up these positions for the strenuous campaign ahead

next fall.

Vying for the nod at quarterback will be Larry Peterson, Robbinsdale senior,

John Hankinson, Edina junior, Andrew Haines, New Orleans junior, and Glen Wirtanen,

sophomore from Downers Grove, Illinois. Each is being given a thorough trial in

spring practice currently under way.

Two newcomers and a converted halfback have joined a senior letterman -

Mike Reid - and a junior reserve - Bryan Magnuson - in a five-way battle for the fullback post. The upcoming sophomores are Charles Rota, former Catholic All

State back at Benilde high, and Jerry Newsome, an all-city selection at Minneapolis

South. The "convertll is husky Fred Farthing, the Omaha native who lettered last fall at halfback.

Rota and Reid at 190 and 192 pounds, respectively, do not fit the conventional concept of a "typical" bruising Gopher fullback, but Farthing, a muscular and agile 200-pounder, Newsome a sturdy 210-pounds, and Magnuson, a hefty 215, conform. From this fivesome should come some real power running in the Minnesota fullback tradition. -0- Mailed April 17, 1964 NOT to be released before April 19, please.

"The Gophers"

MINHEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota's "freshman" track coach -

Roy Griak - is not one to back away from a challenge.

"We are going to concentrate our strength on the two-mi1e relay in the

Drake Relays this weekend at Des Moines, and shoot the works" says Griak,

mindful of the fact that this event may be the most competitive ot any in the Friday - Saturday classic. Already this spring the University of Missouri

two-mile quartet has come within a second of the wrld record in its specialty.

Oklahoma State, Rice, and Drake also have outstanding teams. Nevertheless,

Griak figures that his foursome of Ray Miller, Carl Jones, Mike Elwell, and Wayne Thronson can make a strong showing. Each is capable ot bettering 1:55.0

for the half mile. Miller, Minneapolis junior, holds the Minnesota school outdoor record at 1:52.8.

Rounding out the list ot Gophers competing at Des Moines, will be Tom

Barnes, shot and discus; Bill Stevens, lOO-yard dash; Byron Gigler, high

hurdles; and Norris Peterson, two mile run.

The balance of the Minnesota squad will join the Drake-bound group Monday at Ames, Iowa for the season's first outdoor dual meet with Iowa State University.

College will be honored at the 55th Drake Relays meet Friday and Saturday at Des Moines.

The tradition of honor teams was started in 1960 by the Relays

oonmi.ttee in oonmemoration of the first 50 years of this olassio traok and field event. At that time plaques were presented to the top five all-time

wirmers in the university and college sections.

In 1961 the Relays committee voted to recognize teams for their

victories as well as regular attendance at Drake. Mirmesota and Grinnell

first joined the Drake Relays field in 1912 when the event was in its third

year. Grinnell hasn't missed entering since that time, and the Gophers

passed it up only once - in the World War I year of 1918.

Representatives of Minnesota and Grinnell will be presented with

plaques at the annual coaches' dinner of the Drake Relays at the Des Moines

Saturday" this time at Iowa City. The Gophers won the season's first battle between the two old rivals here last weekend by a 5-4 margin. The Victory hiked Minnesota's record to 5-7-1. It was the first

triumph tor the Gophers in Big Ten competition after a pair of setbacks. Gopher coach Don Lewis, a former Iowa termis star himselt', was pleased by his squad's performance but expects an even tougher test on the Hawkeye

court.

Last week I s contest went down to the wire before Gopher strength in

the doubles turned the trick. Minnesota was down 4-3 going into the last two

doubles matches when the combinations of Jerry Krause - Brian Lawson and Co-Capt.

Chuck Mikkelson - Dave Rosenberg came to the rescue.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Dick Siebert's young but improving University of ltinnesota

baseball team opens its Big Ten schedule this weekend with a single game Friday

against Purdue at Lafayette and a Saturday doubleheader with defending champion

D.1inois at Champaign.

Since returning from an unimpressive Texas trip, the Gophers have won

nine in a row to fatten their season's record to a healthy 12-8. Although the

nine victims were not Big Ten caliber teams, Siebert is considerab~ more optimistic

than he was earlier in the campaign.

"We should be a representative Big Ten team now and have hopes of

finishing in the first division, II he says. "Down in Texas, we looked as it we

wouldn't belong in the league, but we have improved in all departments since then.

Our hitting has perked up, our defense has tightened and our pitching has been good. II

Siebert has been especially happy with the defensive play of his out­

fielders - Dave Hottman, Frank Brosseau, Archie Clark and Al Druskin. All have

been hitting well, too. Hotfman leads the club with a .375 mark while Brosseau

has a .316 mark and Druskin .294. Clark is hitting only .245 but is among the RBI

leaders with six.

First baseman Bill Davis, usua.11y a slow-starting hitter, has 80tten off

to the best start in his three seasons at Minnesota. He is second only to Hoffman

at the plate with a .318 average and leads the team in home runs with four and RBI

with nine. His fieldling has been equally adept of late. He contributed four

stellar plays in the second South Dakota State game last Saturday. The remainder of the infield:, while not rivaUng Davis' skill with the bat, has performed well in the field. Capt. Duane Markus, Steve Schneider and

Jerry Cawley won regular jobs at second, short and third, although Schneider missed last weekend' 8 action due to a spike gash on his left hand. He is expected to be ready for the Big Ten opener.

Catcher Ron Wojciak has been a big factor in the Gophers f success. He is hitting .314 and has been especia.lly strong behind the plate.

The Gopher pitching staff has been a model of effectiveness, contributing six shutouts in the last nine games. With the exception of one bad inning when

Joe Pollack gave up five runs against State College of Iowa, Mirmesota hurlers have given up just four runs during this stretch. The versatile Brosseau will be the starter against Purdue while Pollack and Dick Mielke are slated to face the

Illini. Dan Howard and Tom Lindberg will provide reliable relief, if needed. The Gopher statistics; .:

"The Gophers"

Earle Edwards, described by Murray Warmath as "one of the nation's most

oft ense-minded coaches," will head the University of Minnesota t s tree football clinic Friday and Saturday. A highlight ot the two-day program will be the annual

Minnesota spring intra-squad football game in Memorial Stadium at 2 p.m. Saturday.

When Edwards took over as head coach at North Carolina State 10 years ago

the Woltpack was one of the doormats of the Atlantic Coast Conference. It had won

only five games trom arch-rival North Carolina University, in 47 meetings. Since

Edwards advent, State has scored five triumphs in seven years. In 1957 he led the Wollpack to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and was voted nACC coach of the year." State missed the title by only a halt game in 1960.

Edwards, a graduate ot Penn State in 1931, is heading into his 29th year in collegiate coaching. For two years after graduation he worked as an industrial

engineer, but turned to football coaching at Princeton (N.J.) Prep in 1933, He

moved to Edensburgh (Pa.) High a year later and remained there until 1936. In that year Bob Higgins, the Penn State coach for whom Edwards had played, selected him to

coach the Nittany Lion ends. He was at Penn State tor 13 years, and left to join

Biggie Munn' s staff at Michigan State in 1949. While Earle was end coach and chief

scout there the Spartans enjoyed two undefeated seasons and were a winner in the 1954 Rose Bowl game. Edwards is chairman ot the American Football Coaches Association public

relations conmitteej a member ot the all-America selection board ot the AFCA, and chairman ot the Atlantic Coast Conference football coaches committee. An outstanding "PJ'Oduct ll of Edwards I coaching regime is Roman Gabriel, the

All American quarterback passing sensation of tl'IO years ago.

Earle Edwards, described by Murray Warmath as "one of the nation's most oftense-m:inded. coaches," will head the University of Minnesota's tree football

clinic Friday and Saturday. A highlight of the two-day program will be the annual Minnesota spring intra-squad football game in Memorial Stadium at 2 p.m. Saturday. When Edwards took over as head coach at North Carolina State 10 years ago the Wolt'pack was one of the doormats of the Atlantic Coast Conference. It had won

only five games from arch-rival. North Carolina University, in 47 meetings. Since

Edwards advent, State has scored five triumphs in seven years.. In 1957 he led the

Wolt'pack to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and was voted "ACC coach of

the year. II State missed the title by only a halt' game in 1960.

Edwards, a graduate of Penn State in 1931, is heading into his 29th year in

collegiate coaching. For two years atter graduation he worked as an industrial

engineer, but turned to football coaching at Princeton (N.J .. ) Prep in 1933. He

moved to Edensburgh (Pa.) High a year later and remained there until 1936. In that year Bob Higgins, the Penn State coach tor whom Edwards had played, selected him to

coach the Nittany Lion ends. He was at Penn State for 13 years, and left to join Biggie Murm's statf at Michigan State in 1949. While Earle was end coach and chief

scout there the Spartans enjoyed two undefeated seasons and were a winner in the

1954 Rose Bowl game. Edwards is chairman of the American Football Coaches Association public

relations conmittee; a member of the all-America selection board of the AFCA, and chairman of the Atlantic Coast Conference football coaches committee. An outstanding "PJ"Oduct" of Edwards' coaching regime is Roman Gabriel, the

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Although he's not predicting arry championships for his young

squad, University of Minnesota baseball coach Dick Siebert does believe the Gophers

have a good chance to finish in the Big Ten's first division.

The Maroon and Gold entry is currently tied for third with Indiana and

Michigan State on a 2-1 record following its inaugural activity in Conference play

last weekend which found the Gophers rebounding to sweep a pair from defending champion Illinois after dropping a 3-2 heartbreaker to Purdue. Minnesota opens its home Big Ten slate this weekend with three games

against Iowa at Delta Field. A single contest Friday starts at ):)0 and Saturday's

twin bill is slated for 11 a.m., preceding the Minnesota spring football game set

for 2 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.

The Hawkeyes are tied for sixth with a 1-2 mark. They opened with a victory

over the Illini but then lost a pair to the tront-running Boilermakers. Last year's

Iowa squad was Conference runnerup.

"We hated to lose to Purdue because of three unearned runs," Siebert admite.

"But I was pleased with our overall play during the weekend. Our hitting and

pitching were satisfactory and our fielding came back well Saturday after a shaky

start against Purdue. The schedule should be in our favor the rest of the wa:y with

nine of our remaining 12 games at home. I think we have to be rated a likely

first-division team." Sophomore outfielder Dave Hoffman continues to lead the Gophers in hitting

with a .379 average. He has also played errorless ball in the field. First baseman Bill Davis is second with .355 and leads in homeruns with four and RBI's with 12. Catcher Ron Wojciak (.333) and outfielder Alan Druskin (.326) are also hitting the ball well. Drusldn, usuaJ.Jy a light hitter, has been a big surprise at the plate as well as performing flawlessly in the outfield.

The top five Gopher pitchers enjoy some pretty nifty earned run averages.

Frank Brosseau is tops with 1.29, followed by Frank Howard (1.30), Dick Mielke

(1.90), Tom Lindberg (2.08) and Joe Pollack (2.30).

Siebert plans no lineup changes for the Iowa series. His infield shapes up like this: Davis at first, Capt. Duane Markus at second, Steve Schneider at short and Jerry Cawley at third. Hofrman will be in left field, Archie Clark in center and Druskin in right. Wojciak will be behind the plate. Brosseau is scheduled to pitch Friday while Pollack and Mielke will toU Saturday. Howard and Lindberg will be on hand for top-flight relief. The Gopher statistics: " I

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota's wandering track team continues its travels Fridq when it invades Evanston for a dual meet with an improved Northwestern squad. It will be the Gophers' first Big Ten dual meet of the spring. "Northwestern detinitely is better this year," declares Minnesota coach Roy

G.riak. "They have a couple of good veterans and a flock of talented sophs." The vets are sprinter Barry Townsend and quarter-miler Tom Thomas. '!he top

soJX1S include Jim Harris" 880; Jim Albrecht, pole vault; Lee Assenheimer, two mile; Willie Collins, hurdles; Greg Boydston mile.

In adclition, the Wildcats have the services of Ron Joseph in the broad jump

and Bob Picker in the middle distance races. Neither was available during the

indoor campaign. Joseph, incidentalJ.y, placed fourth along with his sister, in

the couples figure skating event at the Winter O~pics. 'Welre coming along well," says Griak in regard to his own team. "Several

of our boys had their best performances in the spring during our weekend act!vity

in the Drake Relays and at Iowa State. II

AmOn8 those singled'out by Griak are Bill Stevens who turned in a 9.8 in the 100 yard dash in the Relays, Tan Barnes who tossed the discus 156 feet in the Relays

and then added three more feet at Ames, and the two mile relay team which broke the

Minnesota team record with a 7:35.5 effort, good for fifth place in the Relays.

Griak'8 chief worry is over the physical condition of some of his men.

MINNEAPOLIS. - University of Minnesota golfers seek to make up for lost time next week when they swing back into action with a dual meet against Carleton at the University course Tuesclay and a match play tournament at Iowa City Saturday. The defending Big Ten champion Gophers have not seen intercollegiate

competition since returning trom their trip to Texas late in March. They have been able to practice on only a limited basis since then because of Minnesota's unspring-

like April weather and the unsuitability of local greens until almost May.

Competing in the tournament at Iowa, in addition to Minnesota, will be Iowa, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan State and Notre Dame. Indiana is rated as one ot the prime title contenders in the Big Ten this year.

Leading the Gophers will be Capt. Dave Gwnlia who was runnerup in the Big Ten

meet last season. "Gum11a is a highly-axciting player," says Coach Les Bolstad.

''He has a lot ot potential and has set a high level ot achievement for himself." Other top men include lettermen Dick Blooston, whom Bolstad rates as "much

improved," Bob Hustralid and Jack Keohane, who finished eighth in the Conference l~eet

a year ago and whose last round 74 clinched the conference crown tor the Gophers.

The most promising sophomore is Dave Ojala from Two Harbors. Other first­ year men are George Hallin from Minnetonka, Dick Johnson trom Minneapolis Roosevelt and Art Skon t.1'!Om Alexander Ramsey.
